I will discuss recent work on the supergravity description of the fully localized orthogonal black M2-M5 intersection using blackfold theory. Special emphasis will be given to the near-extremal thermodynamics of this system from which we can read off, for the first time, the large-N scaling of the central charge of the two-dimensional superconformal field theory that lives at the intersection. The resulting formula for this central charge is suggestive for the underlying M2 and M5 brane physics.
